b. 41-55

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

Pedalling in sources

No markings in main text

..

The pedalling present in the sources was most probably added by the reviser of PE1 preparing the publication of the Waltz – see bars 9-24. As it simply repeats the pedalling that was already entered into analogous bars 9-15, we omit it in the main text.

b. 43-51

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

No slurs in sources

Slurs suggested by the editors

..

The missing slur in bars 43 and 51 is most probably an oversight – by the engraver, or the copyist, or perhaps Chopin. Had Chopin envisioned a different kind of articulation for this figure than in bars 11 and 19, he would have certainly marked it somehow. Therefore, in the main text we suggest slurs after the aforementioned bars. See also bars 115 and 123.

b. 49-55

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

..

In PE4 the staccato dots in the L.H. part are mostly invisible – it is only the marks in bars 49 and 55 that are visible, out of which it is only the latter that is clear. This adverse effect resulted from the change of printing technique to lithography; it is noticeable in some impressions of other pieces too. We do not consider it a variant.

b. 50

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

No mark in sources

Staccato dot suggested by the editors

..

As in bar 18, the missing staccato dot in this bar is probably an oversight by Chopin – cf. bar 42.

b. 54

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

..

In PE1 the treble clef is placed before the 1st L.H. crotchet. The patent mistake was corrected in GE and PE2 (→PE3PE4).
